December Days

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Inside-

Living room tree and a REAL mantel to decorate! So fun!

And outside- The high roof and peaks were a bit intimidating this year :)

You would have thought we got 6 inches of good snowman snow the day it frosted heavy for the first time.  The boys were SO excited!

Drive through light display at Atlanta Motor Speedway.  Awesome! A bit bigger in scale than our traditional display in Winfield, KS.

Lots of shopping and my cute little shopping helper to gather up our traditional 3 presents per child.

One of my FAV purchases this year was this prank box for my sister and her husbands gift.  HYsterical!!!!  I think we got her too b/c I put a pretty throw in it to make it feel believable...along with a gift card.

Christmas cards out in a record time!  Ordered them in October and in the mail shortly after the first of December!  And no holiday season would be complete without a cherry Hershey's kiss!!! YUMMM!

Since we hadn't had a family picture since Isaac was 3 months old we hurried into Penny's for one.  The "U" was a request by my MIL for each of Matt's siblings (&his parents) each hold a letter to spell out their last name.  And...well...I like the pose with the "U" better than our pose without! ha!

Lots to do at schools in December.  Emma was chosen for Character of the Month- Compassion.  We went to her assemble to see her receive her award. We also painted her nails like candy canes one day.

Aidan has a school concert that he was super cute at!  Here he is with his 2 buddies from preK. This year I gave the teachers chocolate drizzled caramel corn and a candied popcorn mix...oh and Applebee's gift cards.

Our church had Colonal Sanders Santa come for a visit.  He shared such a sweet story of Christmas and it's true meaning.
